Europa Community - All of You !
I wanna share this moment instantly with all of you around the globe.
I am writing this time 0330 AM - I came just from The EFTP.
Last time when I have been airborne and a pilot was 13th of November
2009.
That was because OH-XRT (and many other poor planes here) lost her
hangar space in The EFTP.
That was a serious business!
I decided to make my own hangar and I call it The Europa[e] Hall !
That is why I have been really busy during last weeks!
It was completed tonight! Look at the attached photo! If you check it
carefully, you will notice Europa=B4s official logo is slightly modified
in this case!
Inside - there is a little bar, grill, service shop, alarm, safety cams
via internet recording ability, some aviation gizmos, nose artist girls
and other necessary equipments.
It=B4s size is just compact 9 x 12 m2.
My wife certainly planted some rose bushes beside it!
Because it is on a little hill, it is equipped also with an electric tow
machine to pull RT inside (she is so fat lady that even for me it is
almost too hard task to pull her inside manually).
I trailered today OH-XRT from her home hangar from Lempaala to The EFTP
and had also my first aviation session today.
I was thrilled - I have been grounded over seven months. Could I fly any
more (that wild tail wheeled mono)?
Rotax fired upp immediately.
Everything was ok.
I taxied about 15 minutes and it felt so good!
After I did some touch and goes and it felt also good or even better if
possible.
I did some of my best landings - Europa is really landable from the
first touch to the final stop using less than 300 metres runway.
After that I had a local flight 50 minutes.
That seven months meant nothing - I felt as I had been airborne
yesterday.
Obviously flying Europa has gone to my backbone and more or less to my
ass too!
I feel COMPLETELY happy now!
You there around the globe and still building: build it fast - just do
it and complete it ! What sooner that better - it is really worth of it!
Terveisin, Raimo Toivio (v=E4h=E4n mopo nyt keulii mutta antaa sen
keulia)
